Anecdotes in Anesthesia: 120 years of Anesthesia in Kansas City
Clendening Foyer
1001 Robinson Building

This year marks the 60th anniversary of the Department of Anesthesia at the University of Kansas Medical Center. However, the history of anesthesia at KUMC goes back to the founding of Bell Memorial Hospital in 1906. The history of anesthesia in Kansas City goes back even further, shaped by a colorful cast of characters. Join us as we explore the evolution of anesthesia and the stories of its practitioners in the city.
